Let’s get those curious questions out of the way:

Why are you getting married on a Monday? Let’s not focus on the fact that it is a Monday, and embrace the fact that it is on our 8th year anniversary! Everything is coming full circle, because eight years from our wedding day we went on our first date.

How are you getting married in a month?! When there’s a will there’s a way. With the help of a little Disney magic and amazing family and friends, we are pulling this together in a month!

What are your wedding colors & theme? Think Winter Disney Fairytale and a range of colors between powder blue to steel blue to pewter gray to silver. Basically, a realm of the colors shown below:

What should I wear? Your best dressed formal to black tie evening wear (i.e. gowns, suits, full-length dresses, chic cocktail dresses). You don’t have to match the wedding colors, but you are welcome to if you’d like. **For guests with children 12 and under:** We are having a Disney-themed wedding, so we encourage you to dress up your kiddie(s) as a Disney character!

What will the weather be like? Is it indoor or outdoor? The internet kindly provided us with weather forecasts for our wedding to be a sunny 67°F during the day and 52°F at night with clear skies. The venue is both indoor and outdoor — bring jackets and other layers to stay warm.

Will you be providing tsinelas, slippers, or flats for dancing? We won’t be providing these, but you are more than welcome to bring an extra pair of comfortable footwear to boogie.

Will there be an open bar? For a set amount of hours in the night, yes… we will have a “happy hour” of unlimited free drinks. However, please keep in mind that it will not be happy hour the entire night, and the bar will turn into a cash-bar-pumpkin at a certain hour. Don’t forget to bring your IDs! They will be checked at the door, and if you plan to do the happy hour, please ask for a wristband.

Can I bring a plus one? Our venue has a limited capacity, so to ensure that all our dearest family and friends can attend, we are unfortunately unable to accommodate plus ones.

Our Story

Once upon a time there was a boy who liked a girl since the moment he saw her in the hallways of Sunny Hills High on the first day of school. Luckily, they were locker neighbors and he asked her best friend to introduce them. While just friends, he admired from afar, and everyone but the girl knew that he fell in “like” with her.

It took years until he finally had the courage to ask this girl to their senior homecoming ball and she said 'yes!'. Things naturally sparked, and they were very very happy to find another person in the world who understands them like no one else has ever before.

After a few months later, of hanging out, eating at new places, and exploring, this boy and girl realized they’ve never been on a sit-down-dinner date. (You know, the type of planned date where you both get all dressed up and have a fancy dinner? One of those dates.)

This young couple went to dinner at her favorite local restaurant, then he took her to Downtown Disney to walk around. He surprised her and told her that they'll be making a Build-a-Bear together. At one of the stations, the couple made a wish on the bear's heart. After making the bear, they watched the fireworks and it was magical.

Eight years ago, on December 18th 2009, this boy named Mark told this girl named Rachel that the wish he made on the bear's heart earlier was for her to be his girlfriend.

Eight years of love and loss, successes and failures, adventures, growth, and changes, brings us to this part of the story where Mark and Rachel will put their hearts and souls into their vows and say 'I do'. Thank you for being a part of our story 💙
